About

I'm mostly a retro gamer. I don't hate everything after the 90's, but I tend to prefer retro game design. I enjoy alot of indie and portable games, not to mention a blockbuster title every now and then. However, like I said, the majority of my gaming takes place on older consoles.

Sound Test: Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia- An Empty Tome/Main Theme

9:40 AM on 01.20.2009

Music is relative. It effects us in such a personal way that we can't possibly hope to describe the extent of that effect to anyone. It's why we are so protective (and sometimes even snobby) about it. Your personal taste in music will always be better to you than anyone else. So it's best to probably just accept that.

Here I will weekly (heh...) choose a piece of game music that I love and share it! Then talk about it. Not too complex, but I hope it's something you'll enjoy!

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia- An Empty Tome/Main Theme

Dracula's Castle Arranged Version

Ok ok! I know! I just posted one of these last night, but it seems that as soon as I write one, I want to write another! So, I'll use the excuse that I got a full night's rest in between.

Anyway, I explained a bit about Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and my experiences with the Castlevania series in my last Sound Test entry. Still, I couldn't ignore this gem of a song. Rarely these days does a game's theme stir immediate excitement in me. Sure, after hours of turning the game on to play it, a song can become memorable, but it takes something more to have a song effect you the first time you hear it. I can think of two recent songs in particular that have managed to do this for me, the first stage theme in Super Mario Galaxy and the main theme of Castlevania: OoE.

The first time I heard this song was during one of the earlier trailers for the game. It quickly got me much more excited than I had been for previous entries in the series and moved my interest level for the game from "Looks cool." to "NEED NOW.". I'm not sure why or how, I just knew that this song would go on to define this game. So, I wasn't very surprised when I found that it was the theme of the Opening cinematic.

A great song to usher in the start of a great game. Please enjoy!

I agree that this song is really great.

Artemus

Yeah! I started to play this last night...
Great music! Love it!
Super Mario Galaxy had some very memorable music... Good Egg Galaxy is a bonafide classic! The Road to Bowser theme(adapted from Mario 64) and the Buoy Base level music rock!
Imagine games without music?
Hard to believe there were games without music...

I am glad you are posting these Castlevania songs. The Castlevania series in general have some really solid music scores, even though some of the games may not be the greatest. I constantly got various songs from the three NES castlevanias, Super Castlevania IV, Symphony of the Night, Rondo of Blood, Circle of the Moon, and Order of Ecclesia in my playlists. I think half the reason I keep coming back from some Dracula killing is the music.

Again, great find!

The best reason to buy Castlevania Judgement is the soundtrack. This is part of way.

I'm looking forward to buying that game.

On that note I've been playing Final Fantasy VI again and I'm about back to where I was where I stopped. From here on out it's new ground, I can't wait to experience it. I'll be blogging about the "important" events.
